Yes I have ben happy with everything on the whole.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£6,999

When did you buy the car?

January 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I didn't get any deals on the car, but the service plan that I could buy as an extra was at a good price.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I was searching locally for an automatic and liked the way that it felt to drive.

What was the dealer like?

Fine gave me the information that I requested. However I was told that I couldn't have any discount when I asked to have reversing sensors fitted because the car needed quite a major service, so they cost me an extra £300. After I had the car for a while I realized that the car hadn't been serviced and I had to have it done within 4 months of buying the car. Wasn't very impressed and dealer didn't want to know.

What's it like to drive?

Handles the road really well. Maybe a bit slow when accelerating but on the whole I am happy with the performance.

What's it like to park?

Dead easy, the parking sensors were money well spent as they mean that I can get into much tighter spaces.

Have you had any problems with the car?

On the whole runs really well. The man fault is that there is a child lock on this model on the drivers door, would you believe? This keeps on falling down and locking the door. Since having it repaired the lock makes a grinding noise every time you lock it.

What's most practical about your car?

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Reversing sensors.
